Graphql mutation change_column_value doesn't allways update and return undefined result intermittently

monday Apps & Developers FAQs - GraphQL API

I’m using the Graphql API to update Monday - but it behaves inconsistently and doesn’t always perform the update.
I’ve noticed in my log, that in some calls to the change_column_value mutation, it returns undefined - I think these are the cases where it doesn’t save the change, but it’s all very inconsistent - because if I call it again, it does save.

What are the cases where change_column_value returns undefined?
Should I add logic that will repeat the update until it doesn’t return undefined?

Here’s the graphql:

      mutation ($id: Int!,$value:JSON!,$board:Int!,$column_id:String!) {
   change_column_value(
     item_id:$id
     column_id:$column_id,
     board_id:$board,
     value:$value
   ) {
     id
    name,
    column_values(ids:[$column_id]){
      id
      value
    }
   }
}

Here’s a link to my code on github:

I would love to hear from you

Hello @noam.honig and welcome to the community!

I hope you like it here :muscle:

I’m curious about the response you are getting. Can you please send the full response you get from our server with the full message and error code? A screenshot would also do.

Looking forward to hearing from you :slightly_smiling_face:

Hello again,

Sounds good!

I see now that the result in these cases returns an errors object with more info - I’ll follow its info and work accordingly.

I must have missed that in the docs (if you can share a link to these docs, I’ll appreciate it.

Thanks
